April is Earth month and Metro, Metrolink and Amtrak have teamed up with the NBA Los Angeles Clippers basketball team to encourage everyone to Go Clippers-Go Green-Go Transit.

In honor of Fan Appreciation Night April 13, transit riders can save up to 40 percent on tickets for certain levels at the Los Angeles Clippers versus Memphis Grizzlies game at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Riders can show their Metro, Metrolink or Amtrak tickets at the box office on game night and the discount will be applied to the ticket price. Along with the discount the first 200 people who show valid tickets will receive a Go Green bag containing special gifts. The bags will be available at the Go Transit Booth at Staples.

Fans can easily get to the Staples Center via the Metro Blue Line Pico/Chick Hearn Station. It’s a short 10-minute walk from the station to Staples Center. To learn more about this event visit Clippers.com. For more information on getting to Staples Center go to the Trip Planner on metro.net.

So celebrate Mother Earth during Earth Month. Go Metro! Go Clippers! Go green on April 13 and always.
